Medical spray container carrying case

Abstract

A case holds a medical spray container system, including the plastic container and a cylinder of medical fluid which is atomized and dispensed through an opening normally covered by a cap when not in use. The case is fabricated from three strips of woven material affixed together to hold the container and to protect the cap from falling off. Two of the three pieces of material are formed in closed loop configurations to fit respectively over the base and top of the container, including the attached cap. The third piece of material interconnects the first two pieces and functions as a hinge and cap cover to prevent the container cap from becoming dislodged and lost or damaged. The third piece is secured within the closed loop formed over the cap and top at a position adjacent to the cap. An elastic strip is also provided to permit the cylinder of spray to be replaced without the necessity of removing the entire container.

What is claimed is: 
     
       1. A case for medical spray container having a barrel and a capped nozzle extending upward and outward from said barrel, said nozzle having a top and sides, said case comprising: a first piece of material affixed in a closed loop, said first piece of material being sized to receive said barrel within said closed loop;   a second piece of material having one end thereof affixed to one side of said first piece of material, said second piece of material extending upward from said first piece of material;   a third piece of material having two ends, each affixed to said second piece of material at a first portion thereof, spaced from said one end of said second piece to form a closed loop, said third piece of material being and affixed to said second piece of material at a second portion thereof opposite said two ends, said third piece of material being sized to surround said sides of said capped nozzle, said second portion being spaced from said first portion by a distance selected to permit said third piece of material to cover said top of said capped nozzle, said second piece of material having an opposite end extending from said second portion of said third piece of material, and   means for affixing said other end of said second piece of material to said first piece of material opposite said one side.   
     
     
       2. The invention according to claim 1 wherein said first piece of material has two open ends and wherein a fourth piece of material is affixed across one of said open ends, said one end being remote from said second piece of material, said fourth piece of material being sized and affixed to permit access to space within said closed loop. 
     
     
       3. The invention according to claim 2 wherein said other end of said second piece of material includes handle means for lifting said second piece of material. 
     
     
       4. The invention according to claim 3 wherein said case further includes a clip and said first piece of material is overlapped in forming said closed loop to form a receptacle for holding said clip. 
     
     
       5. The invention according to claim 1 wherein said other end of said second piece of material includes handle means for lifting said second piece of material. 
     
     
       6. The invention according to claim 1 wherein said case further includes a clip and said first piece of material is overlapped in forming said closed loop to form a receptacle for holding said clip. 
     
     
       7. The invention according to claim 1 wherein said means for affixing includes hook and loop fastener means.
